Does anyone know if there's already a name for this? I've seen la bataille d'Hébuterne in

http://www.greatwar.co.uk/battles/somme/1915-somme.htm

but wonder if it's an official title?

Other sources give Touvent (fluorspar).

Does anyone have a link to the French Official History volume that covers the period? I'm trying to find it myself but it's a bit of a struggle. Thanks

Found it!

Nicely done. You might consider changing the name of the French commander to de Castelnau. It currently identifies Joffre.

I was given a bit of help by someone from Wiki in the first place because I find the website rather obtuse. Glad it came in useful.
